Do not go to work for Robin Hall. To this date she still owes me over $800 and I can't reach her in any way. Phone, IM, e-mail, cell... nothing.

My mistake. It was MDI-FL. sm
They called me back yesterday finally and found out that it was MDI-FL. I was offered the position which I gladly took. The funny thing is that Transcend has the account now that my previous employer had and was taken away and given to Transcend. I am crossing my fingers I will get on that one (although not holding my breath either). The line rate seems good. The schedule is what I need. So we shall see. So far so good.
mistake
Yes. Mistake made. Windows Vista not compatible with a lot of MT software. Go to Microsoft.com and find what IS compatible, by manufacturer's name.
its a mistake. This was before
this is a mistake..if you check the dates it was before the layoff..
My mistake...
It was not Keystrokes, it was a different company in Illinois on the list that was no longer in service. Just one of those Monday moments on a Thursday!
Big Mistake :-(
Anybody else ever think they figured it out, schedule wise, and end up leaving a company for another one and then realize they made a HUGE mistake? But it is too late because the doctor that you transcribed was already given to someone else.....
I was working for a great company!!!! One that, for some reason, will occasionally get some bad reviews here.... which I do not understand why.. had a baby, had to leave one company (as I was working for three) and let go of the wrong one!!!! But was too stressed out at the time, when making my decision, to realize it.
I wish I could do a system restore on my work situation and set myself back to when I was with that company working on my favorite doctor!!!!
I made a BIG mistake. SM
I was working for this great company who only required 2000 lines a day and had a very flexible schedule. I couldnt handle the 2000 lines a day in addition to my other position and had to quit. Then a little later, asked if I could have another chance. She gave me this chance and then, again, it was too hard for me to keep up with all the work.
Now I am on a different schedule with school starting again as well as other circumstances and this would just be the perfect scenerio for me. The 2000 lines a week.
I have been searching for other companies that might have this type of position available and have failed to locate one. Do you think it would be completely wrong of me to ask, yet again, for another chance? Or would I be coming off too nutty. :-)
Just asking for opinions. Go ahead and tell the truth. If you think I am a nutcase, go ahead and let me know. LOL. Just want pure honesty here.
Also if anyone else has ever been in the same position as I, I'd love to hear about it. At least I would know I am not the only one.
It was a mistake and not a huge one...
GET OVER IT! The poster said they were sorry about the mistake twice now (I wouldn't have after the first time), and it's not that big of a deal anyway! What are you this guy's wife/mother/sister or something? I can't imagine getting so upset about a post about some guy you worked with that again was a MISTAKE?
Take a Valium or 12 and settle down, LOL You keep calling someone out for making a small mistake that's is not going to hurt anything or anyone and who already apologized twice! Plus, your getting yourself frazzled over nothing.
My mistake. You are correct.
So, did the REAL KS recruiter post those messages?
Can you tell me why? I really need to know, I can't make another mistake.

DSG website mistake? sm
DSG website has a link to a website called MTIA saying it stands for Medical Transcription Industry Association. When you click on the link it takes you to a place that is a website for Missouri Tellecommunications Industry Association!! Is this an honest mistake or a scam? Lots of people probably wouldn't even check the links.
Just wondering.
Please don't mistake me for the spelling cop, but (sm)
You stated that the QA people are supper helpful too... Does that mean that they'll drop in around 4:30 p.m. and start getting dinner ready for me too? LMAO!
is her mistake of posting on the sm
wrong board of such significance that it disrupts your life? Good grief, have you nothing else to do?
If your going to be an RN just for more money your making a mistake..sm
I was an RN and I hated it. Horrible hours, awful doctors with egos, patients who have no respect for you, etc. People who are RNs do if for the love of helping people, not money.
Alex-Med -- did they make a mistake in their ad?
The line rate begins at 2.5 GROSS for an IC position... It doesn't say whether it is for transcription or editing?
That doesn't sound right.
Not bashing, just wondering. 
Oops, my mistake....yes, TSSC is in SC...

I made a mistake, geez! sm
I thought I WAS posting in the correct spot on the board. My experience WAS with the guy I mentioned in my original post. I thought it was the same name as the OP stated ... the names are VERY similar (only a couple letters off) so it was an honest mistake. I never would've posted if I hadn't seen it and been curious whether it was the same guy, so there would never have been a post for me to put elsewhere. Man, oh man. Much ado 'bout nothing.
I apologized and corrected it, but my experience remains the same with the person I originally referred to (again, sorry it was not the OP's guy) and I didn't say anything that is going to sully anyone's reputation one way or the other to any great extent. He might very well be a great guy and I never said he was anything less! Even if it HAD been the same guy the OP mentioned, I would never take anything on these boards with anything more than a grain of salt, and I would investigate and draw my own conclusions before deciding for myself.
I should've double checked the name before posting, and for that I have apologized and continue to apologize. I didn't realize it caused such an uproar behind the scenes. It's not like I said the guy was a murderer or something - just that he sounded like a salesperson! LOL
You would be making a huge mistake....sm
...by even wasting one second of your time with OSi. There's plenty on these boards to back up my opinion.
But, if you are seeking that first year experience, I suppose OSi should be considered.
Good luck!
Did you look in your spam folder to see if there by mistake?
No I am in Oklahoma. For the MT who says she did not get her line count, you need to look in your spam folder of your email. When I first started I was not getting mine and it was in the spam folder. Please try that and if your truly did not get your line count, have you contacted Raul, or Tonya, or anyone and asked why. If you did what did they tell you. This truly is a wonderful company if I can help please email me at sheryl.cantrell@gmail.com I promise to help in any way I can.
Sorry, but Jester is a pretty bad mistake
I'm not laughing. I'm horrified.
OOPS - yea I saw my mistake after I posted.
because it showed 10 times the same mistake
in this post and ironically regarding 'MT, MT's, MTs and MTs', and blabbering how much MTs are taken advantage of....
Oops wrong board. Another mistake by me
I had just got off the phone when I did this. I am going to take a long break from the computer
Hey, QA, I made another mistake .. pull my post .. LOL
Pardon the html in my post, as I tried to enter smileys ... lol ... there was no way to proofread ~ and I didn't anyway, because it's time for me to get ready for work. I also said not being turned down ~ should have been no not .. LOL .. toodles ~ I'm outta here and not participating anymore. ;o)
if you are referring to the mistake the webmedx MT made
The mistake the Webmedx absolute disaster post made was that she was toggling between her two newly assigned accounts, each of which required many of the opposite criteria/spects for the accounts--she mistakenly bolded and capped impression for one when that client preferred lower case, unbolded impression. The templates for these two clients were identical and it was so easy to confuse which you were on I would defy anyone not to occasionally make a mistake of this nature when toggling between these two identical- appearing client accounts, with the reports randomly coming up one or the other and nearly impossible to tell which hospital you're in and it is your first and second days! It was a 'Russian roulette.'
Ok. I could handle once as a mistake if explained promptly and fixed. Twice? I would run sm
as fast as I could. Twice in two months? What if you never get paid at all? You would be better going with a national while getting your own so that you have benefits and a steady paycheck. Start your own accounts slowly so that you start right.
I was sent a gift card by mistake- addressed to my supervisor
I emailed my supervisor and she said sh ewas expecting a gift card in the mail and to mail it to her. I called the company... they said it was a mistake.. So, I am wondering, did only management get giftcards, or did all employees but me get a gift card. I happily mailed the card to my supervisor. I also sent my notice of resignation to Probity.
I hope you made a mistake when you posted below my response.
I certainly do not have an easy account like the poster I responded to. I don't complain about TT. I like it there and plan to stay. They treat there people decently, not like some other companies.
Not on ER here, another acct. Got an email by mistake a few days ago with an Indian person in the
s
People do make mistakes sometimes. Maybe it was an oversight or plain ole mistake
on someone's part, an unintentional mistake. It is possible.
Worked for an MT service that had a mistake on the cover of Employee Manual (sm)
That is bad. 
professionable -- thats cute- did you make this mistake on purpose or really think that is a word?
I have never heard professionable before. lol
Have worked for both. I am back at Keystrokes after making the mistake of leaving for Accusis.
My pay at Keystrokes has always been much higher because they seem to never run out of work. Accusis is mostly offshore, which is a negative to me. Ask Keystrokes to match the rate, I bet they will if you forego the review in 90 days. I will never leave again!
God forbid the poor poster made a mistake by posting on the wrong board!! Good grief!

Not the OP, but I want to learn OPs.
I've done a few of them, but not enough to feel proficient on them.
Never too old to learn
I don't think it is old at all. I went back to school when I was 39 to learn MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION as I had previous secretarial experience for 20 years but wanted to further my career in the medical field and work at home, which I did. My family was all for it. Good Luck! amj
You can learn a lot
from the Andrews medical transcription website. It is an excellent school, and if you enroll you can learn a lot about the business as well as anatomy and physiology, medical terminology, and all the ins and outs of MT.
Well, you learn something new every day.
I live just outside Syracuse, and I don't think I've ever even heard of them or knew they were here. I'd be curious to know more too.
had to learn not how to learn
I have weekend cobwebs
Learn something new everyday.
I was told I was being changed from DEP to DQS when I trained. So then I guess I really don't know what platform I came from. LOL!
there are MANY links there to learn....sm
about the company - the VERY TOP of the page - I almost missed it myself.....but there's all kinds of info, FAQs, and contact page for any questions you might have that the website did NOT answer for you.
Geesh, you can lead a horse to water, you cannot make them drink it.
And no, I wasn't the poster of that website - it was your reaction that got me curious and so I went to that website and there is a lot of info there....only at the top of the page of the browser......
Do not feel that way. That is how you learn
Actually, you click on the Reply by Email in blue. Good luck finding MTs!!
I don't think they are hard to learn, but they are much more
technical in the terminology, lots of equipment and procedure names that change all the time. It seems that each time a new batch of doctors come in that the terminology is different. They come from other parts of the country/world and they used different equipment or different techniques. Lots of stuff to look up - just like the new drugs.
It's easy to learn...
Not sure what kind of advice you're looking for... I don't think you should be freaking out. It's the best platform I've ever used and it's very easy to learn. I'm sure this isn't giving you anything helpful, but not sure what you want to know.
Oh and learn this new system..
 Be an IC at 7 cpl, and do your assigned work and be our slave! What a joke...
Well sir then just let everybody learn the hard way
Give it a try, see if we're all lying and making this up. There are simply too many people that can confirm the same facts my dear. You will hear the same story over and over and over again. This is such a big fat lie that you're telling. I hope nobody buys into it.
You do have to learn what account? Sorry
if it's a dumb question, but what did you mean by that? You have to learn the account your given or...?
I want to learn escription
Some companies advertise that you must have experience in eScription to be considered for an editing position. Have any of you been hired for an eScription position without experience in eScription? I'm sure I can learn it in no time. New platforms don't scare me. Thanks for your input.
If you care to share your opinion of eScription, I would like to hear that also!
Do you have to learn the language?
nm
You need to LEARN to spell....
Don't you think?
HA! You chickennecks will never learn!
I told her to write that and sit back and watch the responses. You knuckleheads never disappoint! HA!
Yes, you can definitely continue to learn, but -
why throw away perfectly good money on a USELESS 'certification'? You won't get paid more money, and you'll have to pay every time you take it if you fail the first time. AND pay to continue to renew it. Biggest ripoff in medical transcription history. AND, all this by a company that gives Indian MTs a better price to take the test, and who openly promotes offshoring american jobs.
You'd do better to spend the money on a comfortable work-chair, an ergonomic keyboard, a better computer, or some new reference books. Getting a bogus 'CMT' cert. just helps to fund AHDI's selling of the American Transcriptionist downriver.
